Hello, this is The Omnipotent Something (Tomni or Something for short if you want). This is the second fan fiction I have created (but my first to be posted here). It's first in order because it introduces my original characters, and it takes place in season 1 of the show. This is mostly about my original characters (and I'll be posting my stories with Gumball and Darwin as the main characters soon). TAWoG is not mine, and belongs to Ben Bocquelet and its other creators.
It was a bright and sunny day at Elmore Town. Lewis Grover the liger, along with his Tigress mother and Lion father had recently moved to the county. Already he was beginning to get used to its strange ways. He was gonna be staying in Elmore county for a while, and so he at least had to go to school. He was happy and nervous as was the norm for going to a new school.
Already he was running late (literally). His mother had been called away on an emergency meeting, so she could only bring Lewis to a certain point before rushing off to her new job. Lewis (being the feline hybrid he was) ran to the school. Despite that though he eventually started tiring out, but he still kept running.
'Finally!' the liger thought. He saw the Elmore Junior High building, and its doors up ahead. Anxiously, he raced to them and barged through the doors with a burst of energy.
"Hello Elmore Schoooool!"
The school stood empty, whispering a reply. The whisper was coming from a locker. 'Too late' he thought.
"Ermm hello? Please don't tell me I'm late..."
"Hey! Over here." A voice came from the locker.
The liger ran to it. "Umm who are you?"
Then Lewis realized the locker itself was talking. "I'm you're locker kid. If it wasn't for you being late for class, I wouldn't have spoken."
Lewis could only gasp. Late. In the first day. 'How cliche' he thought.
"By the way, welcome to Elmore Junior High!"
Lewis only smiled at the locker before he zipped off to his class in a flash. 'Where was his classroom?' He knew where it was since he had visited the school with his mother during the weekend. It was different from Ms. Simian's class. It has different students and was located in another floor of the building.
The liger remembered its place, and raced there. Finally he reached his room. Bursting in, he announced in rapid succession, "Hello I'm here sorry for being late!"
The sight he saw made his stomach do a cartwheel. The schoolroom stood empty…once again. Then he heard another voice from his desk.
"Psst! It's recess time!"
"Let me guess…you're my new desk?"
"Right on!"
Wasting not a second more, Lewis ran downstairs to the cafeteria. He now regretted eating more pancakes than he could chew this morning. The pancakes were just too delicious to resist, but now they had made him late combined with his mother's call. In a hurry, the liger sped like a train but unfortunately lost his footing. He plunged down a story then faceplanted on the tiled floor. Getting up, he finally saw other students.
'Well, I'm late but at least its recess time.'
In relief, he sighed and proceeded to take some snacks. He was served some bread, a milk carton and an apple.
"Now where to sit..."
Looking around, he saw the tables packed or occupied. He thought he would just take the most comfortable table.
'Okay Lewis! Here's your chance. Maybe I can make a friend or two right here, right now!'
Walking around, he found the eggheads in a table. Perhaps he could befriend them? Not likely. He did know a bit of science and all but it wasn't really his thing. 'Maybe I could just eat here for the meantime' He thought. And so he went to ask as kindly and courteously as he could. Clearing his throat, he asked:
"Excuse me, can I please sit here?"
"Oh, what's this?"
The egghead with glasses took a Zelmore action figure out. He seemed to have not heard Lewis behind him.
"Ah! Its my latest limited gold edition high-quality top-notch arm swishing leg kicking Zelmore series 3 year 2014 action mini-figurine featured with superior and first-rate sword sound effects!"
His other egghead companion gasped. "So eggsellent I cannot find any other synonyms for magnificent!"
"Uh hello?"
It was clear by their vocabulary that Lewis wouldn't fit well with them. Sighing, he moved on to the next table. The next one seemed unpleasant. At the table sat a large dinosaur, a small piece of toast (that he realized wasn't actually part of the meal and was actually another student), and an ox-bull hybrid thing colored green with orange hair. Lewis shuddered. But before Lewis could move to the next table, the large T-Rex called out to him.
"Hey! You must be new! Why don't you come join our gang?"
"Um…no thanks man, I'll go find another table."
Insulted, she grunted then went over to squish Lewis firmly on the ground with her foot. It felt like being hit by a meteorite (ironic now that Lewis thought about it, since dinosaurs were supposedly wiped out by one). He groaned as he felt pain everywhere.
"…Uh…that hurt…man!"
Tina squished him again. "Im a girl."
Jamie and Anton laughed at him. Wincing under the pressure, Lewis crawled out of Tina's foot crater and straightened himself. He grabbed his food and proceeded to escape the reptile's fury.
Scanning ahead, he saw sitting a blue cat, a legged fish, a banana and a rainbow lad at the next table. The fish and blue cat seemed to be talking vigorously about something, while the banana kept making some bemusing jokes while the rainbow lad was laughing along.
'This table seems pleasant' Lewis thought. "Uh hello guys, can I sit here?"
The rainbow lad and banana turned to him. The lad spoke up.
"Depends. Are you worthy enough?"
"Sure man…I think."
Banana Joe and Tobias crossed their arms. The rainbow lad smiled albeit unconvinced.
"Oh really?"
"Yup."
"Oh really?"
"Yup."
"Oh really?"
"Yup!"
"Oh really?"
Lewis sighed. "100% Yup."
The rainbow lad, and banana unfolded their arms.
"Okay then. Welcome to our table!"
"Finally."
Tobias continued talking to Banana Joe. Lewis sat down beside the blue cat and near the legged fish and sighed in relief again. It felt good on the first day of school and even better to finally arrive and be with the others. He was late, but at least he was here. The liger smiled in satisfaction. But before he could take the first bite of his meal, the blue cat gestured to his side, hitting him squarely in the face with the back of his fist.
Gumball was not aware of this though. "…and so you see Darwin, that's why chocolate is better than chocolate chips. Its like cheese: you can have chocolate chips but not chip chocolates."
Lewis recovered from the blow. He nose swelled to an alarming size. But before he could take another bite Gumball hit him in the head, this time punching him through the side.
Gumball yawned, and once again was not even aware of Lewis' presence. "All that explaining makes me so tired I have to stretch so badly..."
Lewis moved slightly to his side to avoid another punch. Suddenly Gumball unintentionally bumped into Lewis, knocking him over. The blue cat stood on his seat as he cocked an ear toward the cafeteria door. He could hear a group of girls talking excitedly, and giggling.
"Oh how could I forget. Its cheerleading practice! Come on buddy, let's go now so I can go gawk at Penny!"
And so again as Lewis poked his head from the floor, Gumball (without any clue that the liger was there) had jumped right on Lewis' face. The blue cat was followed by Darwin and they both ran through the cafeteria doors.
Lewis groaned again. "Ouch."
The liger's head was squashed flat like a pancake. Popping it to its original form, Lewis started to grab a bite from his food. The apple was still good.
Banana joe turned to him. "You're new here?"
"Yeah, just moved here."
"Oh okay!"
The banana and rainbow lad continued talking while Lewis enjoyed his apple. Suddenly his apple crunching moments were interrupted by a visitor randomly passing by his table. Tobias and Banana Joe were in a deep discussion about sports and herbs that they didn't even see him. The visitor was swift enough that Lewis couldn't see his/her face. From what he saw, the visitor wore watermelon-colored clothes or could have even been a watermelon himself.
The visitor made a sound like a "Tink!"
Then as fast as he appeared, the visitor vanished. Right on the spot where the visitor had placed a hand for less than a second was a note. The liger grabbed and read it. All it said was: "Come to our table".
"Ooookay…"
There was an arrow on the note. By folding the note downwards, Lewis saw it was pointing towards a table with a stickman and a doormat. In an instant, Lewis bade farewell to Tobias and Banana Joe then took his tray and went over the table. 'What do they wan't now?' he thought once again.
"Did you want me to sit here?"
Picking up a teapot on the table to clear some space, the teapot itself surprised him and talked.
"Ahem, its tea-ime for your orientation!"
Then as if it was the end of time, Lewis was grabbed by the doormat in a flash, and he (along with his companions) ushered him into a storeroom. The storeroom was full of pots, boxes and crates of ingredients and fresh produce.
"What-"
The stickman shushed him. "Listen, you'll be doing something important"
"Exactly. Here's a list of items." The doormat handed over an envelope which the liger took reluctantly.
Ronald: "Items you'll need to take for us."
Then from behind, the visitor from earlier revealed himself. He was indeed a watermelon.
Walter: "Mhm. We want you to bring these items. If you fail, then you'll achieve nothing!"
Suddenly, Lewis was ejected out of the room and back into the cafeteria. 'What was that?' he wondered. It was so fast he thought it didn't happen. But the envelope he had been given was still in his grip. Before he could inspect it further, the bell rung and the students rushed through the cafeteria doors, bringing him along.
And that's it for now. Next chapter coming out soon!
